Reverse Osmosis Equipment

Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a water purification process that removes contaminants by forcing water through a semipermeable membrane. This membrane filters out impurities, including dissolved salts, bacteria, and chemicals, ensuring clean and safe drinking water.

RO systems effectively remove heavy metals (like lead and arsenic), chlorine, bacteria, viruses, nitrates, sulfates, and other dissolved solids, providing high-quality purified water.

Filter replacement depends on water quality and usage. Generally, pre-filters and carbon filters should be replaced every 6-12 months, while the RO membrane lasts 2-3 years.

Yes, RO removes both harmful and beneficial minerals. Some systems include remineralization filters to restore essential minerals like calcium and magnesium.

Yes, but pre-treatment may be required if the well water contains high levels of iron, sediment, or bacteria. A water test can help determine additional filtration needs.

RO systems produce some wastewater as part of the filtration process. However, modern systems are more efficient, with some offering water recovery rates of 50% or higher.

Yes, RO-purified water enhances the taste of food, coffee, tea, and other beverages by removing impurities that can affect flavor.

The output varies by model, with residential systems typically producing 50-100 gallons per day, while industrial units can handle thousands of gallons.

Most under-sink residential RO systems operate on water pressure alone. However, some high-output or advanced systems may use a booster pump, which requires electricity.

Installation depends on the system type. Under-sink units are relatively easy to install with basic plumbing knowledge, while industrial units may require professional installation.
